"Secret Beach" is only for getting sunburned on black sand, it is exactly between Kehena and Seaview, on an old lava walking trail down from red road between the ironwood trees there... beautiful place to get sun and you will be by yourself 99% of the time (even if it was in the "blue book" lol), but no way to get out of water if you are stupid enough to try for swim there. Kaimu new beach is also dangerous for swimmer w/o fins, Kehena is swimable 80% of the time for most who know how to swim in current and small shore breaks, but I also would recommend a fin or set of flippers... also recommend to stay to the right side next to the rocks as the rocks knock down the current there.... Left side looks all easy for a newbie, but they will learn.... its not
aloha
PS like all true black sand beach (ie sand is less than 75 years old and is made from hot lava fracturing when it hits the cold ocean) Kehena will be gone in 15 years so you better get your swim on soon!
True Black Sand Beach only last 25-50 years before they get washed into deep water and disappear forever... other beaches with dark sand are not true black sand beaches (ie Waipio with sand that is river erosion of 120,000 year old Kohala Mt.)
a white sand beach is always growing as most of the sand is really Parrotfish Poo (a single Parrot fish makes over a ton of white sand/year ....eating and crapping out coral all day long
save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
